 I hope someone can help me, or at least point me in the right direction.  I
 am involved with developing an educational demonstration lecture concerned
 with advances in communication.  A possible point that is under
 consideration is the ability to send a signal around the world as quickly
as
 possible.

 What I need to know, is it possible to send some sort of email (or
 something), that can be routed around as much of the world as possible and
 trace its progress?  Or make a series of connections in a similar manner
 (tracing where the connections are being made)?

 Can this be done either on the fly, or with some prior work before
 demonstration?  Obviously this could be faked, but it would be nice to be
 able to do it for real if possible.

 Another fly in the ointment... this demonstration will be carried out live
 on stage at various locations around the U.K.  In some of those locations a
 permanent link to the internet may be available (via local network etc. -
 univeristy or commercial locations), but others may rely on a normal dialup
 connection.

 Does anyone have any suggestions?

 Thanks


 Jason McClean.  (please reply to jason@hoelodge.freeserve.co.uk)
